Rain, Rain, Go Away

We recently received over 6 inches of rain in about 24 hours. Fortunately, 10 years ago, we installed a drainage system in most of our basement. Unfortunately, where the drainage system was not installed, water has leaked through. About 1/4 of our carpet in our basement is wet. All afternoon and evening school activities were postponed....school starts 2 hours late on Friday too.

One, two, three, four...

On Saturday, Aaron's high school marching band performed in the Waseca Parade. The temperature was in the low 60's... much better than the low 90's when they marched at the state fair. I am a newbie when it comes to marching band... but my untrained eye thought the band looked great. They placed 4th overall in the competition. Below are a few pictures from the parade.

Down But Not Out

Dad was in good spirits this morning when Dan and I visited him at the hospital. After a 45 minute visit Dad was getting tired and ready for a nap. He is expected to check out of Fairview on Monday and head to Tri-County Hospital for a few days.

No need to stand up and go to the bathroom!

Dad needs to breath into a device (I have no idea what it is called) about 10 times an hour to help keep maintain his lung capacity.
